  • Patent number: 8337027
    Abstract: A light source unit including an excitation light source for emitting light in a blue wavelength band, a fluorescent wheel, a light emitting device for emitting light in a red wavelength band and a light guiding optical system for guiding light emitted from the fluorescent wheel and the light emitting device to a light guiding device. The fluorescent wheel has a fluorescent area where a green fluorescent material layer for emitting fluorescent light in a green wavelength band is disposed and a diffuse area for converting light emitted from the excitation light source into diffuse light of which directivity is weak are disposed end to end in a circumferential direction. A concentration of weight content of the green fluorescent material and a thickness thereof are such that a luminescent intensity of fluorescent light emitted from the green fluorescent material layer is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20120075591
    Abstract: A light source unit includes an excitation light source and a luminescent wheel on which luminescent light emitting areas including, on a reflecting surface, red and green luminescent materials which respectively emit light of red and green wavelength band, when receiving excitation light, and a diffuse transmission area which diffuses and transmits excitation light, are aligned end to end in a circumferential direction. An excitation light incident surface of a luminescent material layer of the luminescent wheel has a surface with a plurality of projecting bodies. Regular quadrangular pyramids are arranged thereon in a matrix with outer boundaries of bottom portions of adjacent regular quadrangular pyramids contacting each other. The pyramids rise at a rising angle of at least 30°, and a length of one side of an outer boundary of the bottom portion of the pyramid is between 10 and 100 ?m.
